#1 Toying with building/modifying my own bike
01-07-2013, 10:31 AM
Need to put a few heads together here. As much as I'd like a lovely CFMoto or Benelli 600, I think honestly a 250cc-400cc air-cooled twin would be as close to as much bike as I would really need. So we have many CMX250/CB250 based bikes and being a big fan of 70's Honda's I'd love to put together a legally plated bike or be it heavily customized/modified.
What I'm thinking about:
Building off this, or something like it as found by MJH:

What I like on this bike are the colors, tank and wire wheels. Then I'd want to get a ideally air-cooled 350cc twin in it instead put a dirt bar on it and cut quite a bit of the back end off it to make it into a street-tracker inspired by this:

The idea being that the bike would then be able to be ridden on legal plates and insured each year. Also with this build I'd like to spend the extra on real Honda and other parts like good brakes (Brembo) and Bridgestone tires, also some basic Chinese parts to keep the costs down.
Needs:
-Wire wheels
-Powerful front disk brake
-Honda CB250/CB350/CB360/CMX250/ based or real air-cooled parallel twin
-Carbs
